homeDX is a new digital ecosystem for in-vitro diagnostic applications in the context of telemedicine. With homeDX, self-tests are confirmed at home to be recognized by public authorities and healthcare providers. The system consists of a web-based client and a scalable cloud platform for healthcare professionals. homeDX meets strict German requirements for data protection and IT security. Currently, homeDX Covid-19 rapid tests are performed online in Germany and confirmed with an online certificate.
What problem does homeDX solve?
In vitro diagnostic applications have long been common practice among physicians and in hospitals. Under medical supervision, the correct test kits are used, the identity of the patients are confirmed, the execution of the test application is technically correct and the results are interpreted correctly. Therefore, they are recognized by physicians as well as by authorities and health care providers.
Self-tests for patients at home have become very popular at least since Covid-19, but are usually not recognized and are often not medically robust.
homeDX solves this problem by confirming the patient’s identity, the correct execution and the test result in the context of a telemedical application. Via an online application, each patient can have a confirmed online certificate with diagnosis issued from home. In addition, recommendations for action are sent to users based on the test result, ranging from the initiation of quarantine measures to forwarding to treating specialists. Self-tests can thus help users both in the initial diagnosis of diseases and in the independent monitoring of a course of therapy.
What does homeDX consist of?
The system consists of 2 areas:
- Customer App with Shop
- App for our patients to perform identity verification, purchase self-test, communication with healthcare professionals and online certificate of diagnosis. With our offer, our customers can perform self-tests under medical supervision and evaluation from home and get a recognized certificate of diagnosis.
- Healthcare Professional Cloud
- Secure infrastructure for healthcare professionals who control and diagnose test performance. The Cloud includes a billing system and an anonymized evaluation system
The whole system has been technically developed according to the guidelines of the Medical Devices Act and meets the highest standards in IT security and data protection.
